Kensington & Norwood Writers’ Group began in November 1986 as a series of workshops run by well-known writer Elizabeth Mansutti. Funding from the Kensington and Norwood Council supported these workshops and the resulting anthology, A Parade of Writers. The group became an incorporated body and its second anthology, Inkslingers Inc. followed in 1989.

On 23rd April 2008 Kensington & Norwood Writers’ Group launched the first issue of their journal Writers on Parade.

We ran a literary competition in 2015 in which the 4 winners in poetry and prose won publication in our journal amongst other prizes.

We released Volume 12, BEFORE YOU WAKE AGAIN, in February 2022 and this was made available in Dillons Bookshop, Norwood, Adelaide, and on Amazon / Kindle. We held a celebratory book launch for the journal, which was fun and funny.

Volume 13 was named ‘Sweat’, a suitably edgy name. It was our biggest yet, with over 200 pages. This was published in 2024.

Now a new Journal edition is in progress …
